In implementation theory it is common to consider social choice functions that map to lotteries over outcomes. For example, virtual implementation has been used widely with social choice functions that involve randomization. ...
The concept of Social Capital suggests that societies with more dense social networks will have more effective political institutions, be more cohesive and display stronger economic performances. However the causal foundations ...
The analysis of network data is an area that is rapidly growing, both within and outside of the discipline of statistics.
This review provides a concise summary of methods and models used in the statistical analysis of ...
Network modeling can be approached using either discriminative or probabilistic
models. In the task of link prediction a probabilistic model will give a probability
for the existence of a link; while in some scenarios ...
In this paper, we study implementation in “economic environments”. It is shown that there is a dense subset of the set of preference profiles such that given an arbitrary social choice function, f, and e>0, there exists ...
This work presents an overview of the factors that need to be taken into account in the decision making in respect of providing a coordination service in respect of family group conferencing
Real-world social networks from a variety of domains can naturally be modelled as dynamic graphs. However, approaches to detecting communities have largely focused on identifying communities in static graphs. Recently, ...
